Tourette's Disorder (TD) Symptoms
What are the symptoms of Tourette's disorder?
Most children with Tourette's have different patterns of tics. The tics may not be obvious. They can be bursts of movement or sounds that last for seconds or minutes.
Tics can include:
- A slight twitching of the eyes.
- Jerking of the neck.
- Coughing or throat-clearing.
- A mix of movements and sounds.
It's common for a person who has Tourette's to feel an urge in some part of the body that builds and builds. This urge can only be relieved by performing the tic. But not everyone with the disorder is aware of these urges.
